M. Ward - Transfiguration of Vincent D&D Handbooks released on March 12Deluxe packaging & 180 gram audiophile quality vinyl. Available on LP for the first time! Ward's 3rd album that is clearly progressive while simultaneously sounding regressive, feeling dusty w age, & manifesting a genius that is pure & untempered. His music defies description except to say it is coming from somewhere seeped in the early blues w a Neil Young overlay & the feel of country, blues, pop, & folk.
